Blog Name

When I was trying to decide what name to choose for my blog, I had all kinds of ideas running through my head (none that creative because I am not a creative person, but ideas nonetheless).  I looked through one of my favorite passages which you see below: Psalm 78.  Over and over as I read through the Psalms and even the prophets, I am amazed at how we are told to declare the works and the glory and the name of the Lord!  I remember when I read that for the first time.  I just couldn't believe that that's what God has called us to do.  So simple, yet so huge.  I thought it was much mroe complicated.  So that is where the name for the blog came from.  I am going to the Dominican Republic in a couple months, and I'm excited!  Yet the job there will be the same job I had with my students here - declaring the works of God.  Sometimes when I tell people that I am going overseas to teach, I feel as though they put me on a pedestal, like I am doing some great thing.  It is God that does the great things and we just get the privilege to tell about them.

“We will . . . [show] to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.  For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: that the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments.”  Psalm 78:4-7
